<p>aPLib is a compression library based on the algorithm used in aPACK (my 16-bit
executable packer). aPLib is an easy-to-use alternative to many of the
heavy-weight compression libraries available.</p>
<p>The compression ratios achieved by aPLib combined with the speed and tiny
footprint of the decompressors (as low as 169 bytes!) makes it the ideal
choice for many products.</p>
